Area forecast discussion, Jun 24, 9:41 PM CDT, 1 hour 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Aberdeen SD
941 PM CDT Fri Jun 24 2022

.UPDATE...
Issued at 939 PM CDT Fri Jun 24 2022

Storms continue across much of the western half of the CWA, but
appear to beginning to lose strength as time goes on. No major
changes made to the forecast at this time.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Saturday Night)
Issued at 256 PM CDT Fri Jun 24 2022

The SPC has most of the CWA in an enhanced risk of severe storms.
Showers and thunderstorms are likely this evening moving west to
east as a surface trough moves off the Rockies to combine with a
cold front. Confidence is low on exactly when and where storms will
form as high resolution models struggle with initiation timing.
However, the HRRR seems to be in line with current radar trends.

Bulk shear values are relatively unimpressive early at around 30kts,
but after the front moves through they ramp up to around 50kts.
MUCAPE values range from 3000 to 5000 J/kg in eastern counties which
is also the area of higher moisture. CIN values are between -50 and
-150 J/kg. This could hinder, but not prevent, convective formation.
However, this cap will continue to erode as the front moves east.
The focus will be western portions of the CWA where the cap is less
and the cold front intersecting with the surface trough from the
Rockies will provide lift. All threats are possible with these
storms.

Saturday is expected to be significantly cooler than the last few
days as a result of decreasing heights with the trough moving in.
Temperatures at 850 mb decrease from 22C to between 8 and 10C. These
temperatures will mix down to the surface as CAA generates some
gusts between 35 and 45 mph in central and western SD. Corson and
Dewey counties may need a Wind Advisory.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 256 PM CDT Fri Jun 24 2022

The long term period will feature a state of flux in the upper-
levels, which will translate to a variety of weather conditions at
the surface. Initially, at 12z on Sunday, a strong, stacked
low/upper low pressure system will be across the southern Hudson Bay
in Canada. With strong high pressure simultaneously across the
Northern Rockies, a relatively tight pressure gradient will be in
place across the High Plains, leading to breezy northwest winds.
While the low shifts further east through the day, bringing stronger
winds aloft along with it, daytime heating and mixing should lead to
continued breezy conditions through the day, especially across the
eastern CWA. Sunday's airmass will remain relatively cool and dry,
under the influence of that northerly flow, with high temperatures
generally in the mid to upper 70s and dewpoints in the mid to upper
40s.

Northwest upper-level flow remains in place through Tuesday, but
southerly return-flow will have developed, leading to increased
warmth (especially across central SD) and a gradual increase in
humidity. Shortwave energy brings the best chance for precipitation
across North Dakota and northern Minnesota Monday night, but this
cannot be ruled out across the northeastern CWA as well. An upper-
level ridge builds in temporarily Tuesday night into Wednesday,
which would translate into the warmest day of the week with highs in
the 90s (though there is also more spread in potential outcomes
among the models on this day than any other - the majority of ECMWF
ensemble members position the upper-ridge further west - so
confidence is low on details). Showers and thunderstorms are
possible Wednesday evening and night, as shortwave energy quickly
flattens the ridge. Models are in better agreement then about
developing generally westerly flow aloft to end the week, with
slightly cooler temperatures and occasional additional chances for
showers and thunderstorms whenever forcing works through the region.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday Evening)
Issued at 636 PM CDT Fri Jun 24 2022

Terminals KABR,KATY,KPIR,KMBG

A cold front crossing the region this evening will bring showers
and thunderstorms to all terminals. The thunderstorms will bring
MVFR and possible IFR conditions. Winds will become breezy from
the northwest behind the passage of the cold front.
